• State the research question and/or hypothesis.
• Specify the approach (qualitative or quantitative), research design, sampling strategy, data collection procedures,

• If the design is quantitative, also describe the variables, measures, and statistical tests you would use.
• Analyze ethical issues that may arise and explain how you would handle these issues.

• At least two sources should be about the research methodology you have chosen for your study.
• At least one source should be on ethical issues in research.
• The remaining sources may be about anything pertinent to your study.
  In accordance with APA style, all references listed must be cited in the body of the paper.
